What techniques or approaches have you found to be most successful in helping your patients recover?
The key to successful rehabilitation and recovery is to make it fun and to set small, doable goals. Don't push yourself too hard; if you experience a setback, just acknowledge it and try again the next day. Work with someone compassionate and encouraging to help you reach your long-term goals. Transcript: "So what I found is successful in getting people over the hump and having a good recovery is to have fun. And any sort of Rehabilitation or recovery process from any injury or pain experience should not be a burden. We want to make that something that is just a lot of fun for people here. We have Miguel having pets as part of the fun. I've worked with you, happy. But he's certainly, we had a therapy dog that came in and it was great motivator for a lot of our patients making small doable tasks, that get to. The long-range goal is really important and if there's a little setback, just acknowledge that that's part of the process and moving ahead and try it again, the next day. So, biggest thing. Small doable goals, not pushing it too hard. Sorry, I'm not sore enough. The next day that you can still do the activity but not so sore that it's painful and working with somebody who is compassionate about, helping people and fruit."

What techniques are approaches? Have you found to be the most successful in helping your patients recover. Chiropractic adjustments are hands down the most effective tool that I have in this room and this treatment room we often use instrument assisted techniques to help enhance, or create a longer term relief. We use tape, we use laser or use massage. We were for acupuncture rehab, but Chiropractic adjustments. Are so special and so powerful. Most of the time when I have a new patient, I'll spend the first one to four visits only doing adjustments on them, because I want to see clinically that that continues to be true. And I want the patient to see how powerful and effective and efficient, a chiropractic adjustment is so I'm a chiropractor, I'm a pediatric Sports chiropractor. I'm obviously a big fan of adjustments, but I do find that a lot of times as new chiropractors coming out in the field. Old are a little bit more absorbed in all of the ancillary things we can add in. And so this is a really good time for me to point out, just how amazing Chiropractic adjustments are how well they work low risk and a really high reward and great outcomes.

What techniques or approaches have you found to be most successful in helping your patients recover? So, for me, it's all about Active Care. So giving patients homework to do at home and not too much homework. So we're talking two or three things that are very doable for them within like five or ten minutes. So we're not trying to give them too much, or they feel overwhelmed but we are trying to give them things to keep them healing and improving since I see a lot of pregnant and postpartum patients. And And their ligaments are all getting loose from relaxin. Either getting ready to give birth or having just given birth. It's really important to work on firing the muscles. So getting them a few exercises that they can do at home to really stabilize and file. Those muscles to stabilize, the joints is, I think a game changer for pregnant and new moms. As far as actual physical treatments, I have found the drop table Webster technique to be super effective. With pregnant patients mainly because it just doesn't take as much force to move those joints and so we can use a lighter Force technique and really get some good movement and then really focus on the stability of the joints and getting them moving in that pain, free range of motion.
